Usually, when I start a User Gallery thread, I also subsequently submit the filter. Once it has been polished and hammered into shape with the help of community feedback, that is. It's a very helpful routine... Wink Smile

I'm planning some additional features for this filter's future:

- Coastal cliffs.
- Hills & mountain ranges (probably needs bombers, but we'll see).
- More refined compass rose design.
- City icons. (Maybe)
- More border designs. (Maybe)

Hi Carpadilla,

Was just thinking I think I'm going to map a really nice map (put lots of work into it) when I make my web space. Use one as a site map~ I like~ Loves it~ This was just a quick map to give basic idea of use nothing fancy, but could be done up very nice.

Thanks for making the filter~ Big grin

Nice one, Persidio, and you are welcome! Big grin

I'd love to see what you come up with for your 'site' map.



Regarding the 'Land of Filter Forge' map, there are several locations of absolute importance that we must not omit:

- the "Filter Forge", an ancient monumental temple that houses the mythical "Result component", from which sprang forth the whole of creation. Legend has it that a mysterious group of beings called "FF Team" make it their home, instructing those who seek knowledge of the art of 'filter authoring'. Since ancient times, the Filter Forge has been a place of pilgrimmage for all aspiring filter weavers of the world.

- the "Editor's Pick", a huge spear shaped tower that houses the hallowed halls of "The Editors" aka "Knights of the Golden Pick". The Editors are a sacred order that guards the balance of creation by hunting down all renegade 'Filter Weavers' that turn against the 'Codex of Gentle Filtration'.

- the "Filter Library", that is said to contain every filter every created.

- the "Halls of Vlad", where the sacred 'Rod of Generality +255' is enshrined, spreading its 'Aura of Generality' over the known lands. Named after the most famous of the "Knights of the Golden Pick".

- the "Snippet Isles" (namely Uber, Quasi and Ro), island domain of the mysterious three Snippeteers, guardians of the arcane. Travelers beware, for these islands are infested with the dreaded 'sock-puppets', who are generally not amused, mad 'curve-ops' and even worse.

- the "Sherry", a zone of wild natural media brush filtration that slowly spreads across the lands. Widely regarded as the best photo shooting location because of its marvelously 'handdrawn' and 'painted' landscapes.

- the "White Dove", the famous port and capital city where the yearly contest for "Queen of FF" is held. Ruled by Miss Congeniality.

- the "Worley Distortion", a giant maelstrom. All ye who seek the "Filter Forge" have to brave it!

& last but not least:

- "Lounge Lizard", a titanic leather sofa that roams the lands to and fro, never to be found in the same location twice. Home of Crapadilla and his bodyguard platoon of fruity strawberry cyborgs. Wink Big grin

Did I forget anything? Wink

LOL

Big grin Big grin Big grin

I can see my basic layout got ya going!~ It could be done very nice. Wish I could take time away from filter making right now~ Crying ~ to make graphics. Just finished a break to make graphics.

Only one question? The Sherry. What is this image you speak of?

LOL

I'm new as of April 16th~

oh oh oh there is an Ubber Island. I don't use snippets (don't hit me)(I might down the road). And I'd heard Ub does snippets and didn't know the names of the others.

What a wonderful filter and it's great to see every one having fun with it already! Love the list of locations Crapadilla and Persidio thought up the Land of Filter Forge, the injokes are awesomely hilarious, especially the Worley Distortion maelstrom ^_^

Hmmm... the only thing that seems missing in the concept land of filter forge is a place where everybody picks up their obligatory first Life Preserver to take to the Filter Forge on their pilgrimage -- after beating them into submission apparently first (In my whacked out imagination, the Life Preservers are all alive -- and focus on self-preservation -- but alas, their lack of external limbs limits their general lifespan) ^_-

Excellent. So an aspiring 'effect' filter weaver's first task is to hunt down one of these elusive creatures for use in his lab, so he can gain a weaving license and have a guinea pig to test out new 'filtrations' (i.e. filter magic). Due to their dependance on the life preserver, 'effect' filter weavers are generally looked down upon by elitist 'texture' filter weavers, who have mastered the art of creating filtrations out of the very horror of emptyness.

Jean, I think Voldemort might like a kindom more like Mordor Smile Might also want to change Dilla's "Crappadilla Cove".....sounds like that's where the sewage treatment plant is located.....certainly doesn't sound like a good place to go swimming Big grin LOL..... just playing Wink I like fun things like this.....maybe it could have a 3D world to go along with it where filtermakes can create their own characters.....like some of the virtual reality games....

I don't know how you come up with so many original good ideas. I mean it is one thing to have 2 or 3 outstanding filters, but everyone of your filters are amazing. Good work.
Do a good turn daily.

ah, Kraellin Cove, land of the waterfalls and soap bubbles Big grin

lookin good, dilla. i do hope you add more elements to this.

and oddly, this discussion got me thinking about a web site i saw a few years back. it was based on original wolfenstein game. the web pages were each a view of the old wolfenstein halls and rooms. as you picked a direction you got a new page with a new view of where you had 'moved' to from the last page. this whole map layout thing got me thinking of that again and another similar web site which was a 3d gallery. each page of the site was another room or wall of the gallery. steve has been bugging vlad for a better gallery for our filters with more images created from those filters posted along with the filter and presets. so, wouldnt it be interesting to have a virtual 3d gallery for FF filters and images created using those filters. the mind boggles Wink
filters, filters, filters... NO FILTERS FOR YOU!!!

Another excellent work. To my tastes, it has too many controls which makes it unstable when randomized on Medium and High, but I like it anyway.

BTW, Persidio -- great example!

And don't forget raid mini-boss Bella. I heard she can be farmed for 'Hand-signed Cushions of Gentle Support'.

I tend to agree, but on this filter it's kind of unavoidable.

Still, this is also one of the reasons I'm going to lobby you continuously for this new feature until we 'less-is-more' types are satisfied... Big grin
